Image Comparison Block

Let users compare 2 images of the same proportion by dragging a slider left or right, using the Image Comparison block.


Easily create an Image Comparison block on your WordPress site by using the Blockons plugin. This block will let you upload 2 images which overlay each other and have a draggable slider to show and display each image, letting your users easily compare differences between 2 images.

Example:

Below is an example of the image comparison block.

Drag the slider handle left and right to compare the 2 images, for this example we’ve just used the same image with color and black & white.

Add the Image Comparison block

To add the Image Comparison block to the page when using the WordPress editor, simply click the little “Add Block” icon (the plus sign) and do a quick search for “comparison”, “image” and then you should see it show up in the block section.

Once it’s been added to the page you will see the image compare block using 2 different versions of the default images. Make sure to replace these images with your own images.

It’s recommended to upload 2 images of the exact same proportions for this block.
